Q&A with Abosede A. George, Venus Mahmoodi, and Emi Schlosser

On the outskirts of N’djamena in Chad, Amina lives alone with her only daughter, 15-year-old Maria. Her already fragile world collapses the day she discovers that her daughter is pregnant. The teenager does not want this pregnancy. In a country where abortion is not only condemned by religion, but also by law, Amina finds herself facing a battle that seems lost in advance.
